Establishment of a large-scale data warehouse to handle 8 million transactions per month
Establishment of a large-scale data warehouse to handle 8 million transactions per month It is desired to use open system computers for processing a vast amount of data currently processed by a mainframe computer system.
For such problems, NEC Storage can offer solutions such as presented in this case example.
Problems prior to implementation
IIt is desired to use open system computers for processing a vast amount of data currently processed by a mainframe computer system. For such problems, NEC Storage can offer solutions such as presented in this case example.
- It is desired to use data from nationwide terminals being collected by a mainframe system in open systems (data warehouse).
- Along with the increase in data volume and system scale expansion, scalable solutions are becoming necessary.
- A very high processing capacity is required for implementing data warehouse functions.
Solutions and effects
- Data collection from the mission critical system (NEC Main Frame) is performed using the disk coordination function of NEC Storage S4000 series systems for realizing high-speed data collection interfaces between the NEC Main Frame and open systems.
- With the NEC Storage S4000 series units, enhancements of disks and CPUs can be easily implemented as necessary, for sufficiently dealing with increased data and system expansions.
- High throughput performance is realized by utilizing NEC Storage S4000 series crossbar switch technology. This technology can provide the system with processing performance required for data warehouse functions.
